Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

"Where is this place?" Shimada Sho looked around, somewhat bewildered.

"Jindai Shrine."

Shimada Sho was still puzzled. "I know it's a shrine, but I'm asking you, what are you doing here?"

"Cultivate your character and temperament." The young lady's voice was as calm as ever.

"You? Cultivating your character and temperament?"

"Ah."

Shimada Sho: ...

He felt that the young lady's temperament was becoming increasingly indifferent.

If this is still being raised, then that sharp-tongued Yuki Ayase should have been imprisoned in the back mountain of the shrine long ago and subjected to the punishment of having her tongue pulled out, right?

Chapter Seventy-Five: Achievement Rewards, Knowledge Digestion?

Shimada Sho looked around again and found the environment to be quiet and secluded.

He had considered many possible scenarios that might occur after logging in.

Classrooms, homes, even bathrooms.

But I never imagined I would see the young lady dressed as a shrine maiden sitting in the shrine.

So he asked, puzzled, "Why would we send you to such a remote place to cultivate your mind and body?"

“My mother said I’m too restless and need to calm down.”

Shimada Sho's lips twitched. "So we sent you to the shrine?"

"Ah."

"You agreed?"

“No.” Yukine Kamishiro’s tone remained calm. “But resistance is useless.”

Shimada Sho imagined the scene of the young lady rebelling.

He basically said "I don't want to go" with a blank expression, and then was respectfully invited into the car by the bodyguard.

Forget it.

"So what do we do now?" Shimada Sho asked casually, looking around.

Yukine Kamishiro answered calmly, "Sit down."

"Just sitting?"

"Hmm." The voice in my head paused for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Thug, may you sit with me?"

Shimada Sho sighed and sat down on the edge of the corridor.

Sunlight filtered through the shadows cast by the eaves and fell onto his knees.

The cawing of crows can be heard in the distance.

“Mr. Thug,” Yukine Kamishiro suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

"Thank you for the dinner last night."

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for helping me," the young lady said softly. "Mom is very happy and says I've become more sensible."

"……You're welcome."

There was a moment of silence.

“Mr. Thug,” Yukine Kamishiro spoke again.

"Ok?"

"You left in such a hurry yesterday, I didn't have a chance to ask you."

"What do you want to ask?"

"They're asking if you know Yuki."

Shimada Sho's heart skipped a beat, but he calmly asked, "Why would you ask such a question?"

"Because you talked to her more than you talked to me."

"Forehead……"

What's this? Are you jealous?

"Mr. Thug?"

"I don't know her," Shimada Sho denied without changing his expression. "I just felt that woman was not someone to mess with, and I wanted to deal with her as soon as possible and leave."

"Oh."

Quiet.

A while later.

"Mr. Thug".

"What's wrong now?"

"It's nothing." The young lady's voice became lighter as she slowly said, "I just wanted to call out."

……

Shimada Sho leaned against a pillar, looking up at the blue sky above.

The shrine was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the wind rustling through the leaves.

There are no tasks to rush, no debts to worry about, and no need to think about how to deal with anyone.

Sitting there communicating with the girl in his mind, listening to the occasional joy and happiness in her voice, and imagining the expression on this body's face when she said those words, Shimada Sho felt better than ever before.

If he could, he could sit there forever without getting bored.

Unfortunately, the connection time is almost up.

[Remaining time for this connection: 00:02:15]

The countdown began, and his connection for the day was over.

Once the progress reaches 50%, according to the previous system description, the time should be extended.

But Shimada Sho kept an eye on the time, and it remained unchanged.

It must be missing some key element.

See you next time.

Thinking about the system, Shimada Sho bid farewell to the young lady using his inner voice.

Just then, a bodyguard in a black suit walked over quickly, stopped a few meters away, and bowed respectfully.

"Young Miss, we've found out the information you're looking for!"

The bodyguard, wearing sunglasses, came into the courtyard and stood respectfully at a distance.

Shimada Sho raised an eyebrow and asked in his mind, "What should I say?"

He didn't know what Yukine Kamishiro had instructed the bodyguards, and replying rashly would easily reveal his weakness.

I thought I'd ask the young lady first and give her an answer on her behalf.

But after asking, the young lady suddenly said, "Mr. Thug, can you log off now?"

"Hmm?" Shimada Sho instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Just as I was about to reply, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of me:

[Ding! Limited-time training mission triggered!]

[Yukine Kamishiro's Wish - To Hide]

[Task Description: The young girl harbors complicated feelings; she doesn't want Mr. Thug to know everything. Please log off!]

[Task Reward: This character's development progress has reached 50%, activating the achievement reward. Please log off to check.]

[Task Requirements: Log out of your character immediately. Refusal is not permitted.]

Not again?!

The mission came too suddenly, leaving Shimada Sho completely astonished.

He wanted to say more, but the bodyguard in front of him had already raised his head and opened his mouth to report.

"lady--"

[Forced logout in progress...]

Disengagement of consciousness.

Darkness enveloped everything.

The last thing Shimada Sho heard was that the bodyguard only said half of what he had said.

"After learning of your thoughts, Madam has already sent the head steward over..."

The sound faded into the distance until it disappeared completely.

When Shimada Sho regained control of his body, he found himself back in his familiar classroom.

On the light screen in front of me, text was also floating:

【Ding! 】

[You have successfully completed the limited-time quest for Yukine Kamishiro - Log Off!]

[Task Evaluation: None]

[Task completed, rewards being distributed...]

[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the intermediate achievement and gaining the special skill - Knowledge Assimilation!]

[Knowledge Assimilation (Special Passive Skill): In auto-learning mode, the player can automatically assimilate and absorb the knowledge encountered during the learning process. No conscious memorization is required; the learned content can be retained. This skill is effective for all learning materials, including textbooks, books, and video tutorials.]

[Note: This skill is only effective in auto-play mode and requires the player to have prior access to the learning materials.]

Shimada Sho's gaze lingered on the light screen in front of him.

But the scene from just now was still replaying in my mind.

She logged off twice in a row, both times at her own request, and then it became a wish.

It's not surprising that the system will issue tasks according to the character's wishes.

The question is, why did the young lady want to log off?

Last time it was Ayase Yuki, and this time it's a bodyguard. What is this girl hiding from me?

Feeling deceived, Shimada Sho was very unhappy.

But even if he was very unhappy, he could only wait until he logged on again to investigate.

Let's take a look at the rewards first.

Shimada Sho opened the skill bar and looked at the newly entered [Knowledge Digestion] skill.

Knowledge is automatically absorbed in the managed mode...

Isn't this just an auto-learning program?

"System, enable managed hosting."

Managed mode is now available.

Shimada Sho took his textbook out of his bag and opened it to the first page.

Then he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

My body is in a state of escapism, and my eyes mechanically scan the words on the pages of the book.

He could feel the knowledge flowing into his mind silently, like a stream of water.

There's no need to deliberately memorize it or recite it repeatedly.
